A meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee of Chatham connfy will be held at the Committee Booms this evening at 7i o’clock. K. D. Abnold, President ELECTION TICKETS' Parties at a distance can be furnished with election tickets at fifty cents per hundred, through the postoffice, pre-paid. All orders must be accompanied by the money, and di rected to Morning News office, Savannah, Ga. ' « NOTICE. Mr. W. A. Shobeb, our General Traveling Agent for South Western Georgia and Florida, is now on a tour through those sec tions, and is authorized to receive and re ceipt for subscriptions to the SAVANNAH MOBNING NEWS, TRI-WEEKLY MORN ING NEWS, and THE SAVANNAH WEEK LY NEWS, and also to solicit orders for printing of every description. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, The prevailing apathy in, this quarter is in striking contrast with the extraordinary ac tivity and deep interest manifested by our Democratic friends of the interior towns in the approaching Presidential election. The fact that the respectable portion of onr white population are nnanimons in ' their support of the Democratic nominees for President and Vice President is no reason why every voter should not deposit his ballot, and do all in his power to bring out a fall vote of the county on Tuesday next. Every true man who feels that he has a stake in the country, and who feels a solicitude for the character, honor and commercial prosperity of the sea port of Georgia, should exert his influence to place Savannah high on the roll, among the foremost cities of the South, in the snpport of the principles of the Constitution. What ever may be the resnlt of the issne which de termines the fate of free Constitutional Gov ernment, let it not be a reproach that the men of Savannah and of Chatham connty were remiss in the discharge of their duty to the State and the country. In times past it was written, “as goes old Chatham, so goes the State.” Let ns not, by apathy and luke warmness in these days of trial, forfeit the prond position so justly accorded to ns in the better days of onr still noble old Common wealth. All over the State we hear the note of busy preparation for the contest on Tuesday. The Democrats and Conservatives are thoroughly organized in every city, town and county, giving assurance that the State will be carried for Seymour and Blaze by a handsome ma jority. Onr organization in Chatham is tho rough and effective, and notwithstanding the unfavorable circumstances by which we are surrounded, if onr citizens will come ont to the polls, Old Chatham will contribute largely to swell that majority. As indicative of the spirit which prevails in the interior counties of our District, we publish the following from the Thomasville Watchman : All to be Closed.—We are authorized to give notice to the people of Thomas connty gen erally, that all business houses in Thomasville, of every description whatever, whether store houses, ware houses, machine shop, or other snap, lawyers’ offices and all other offices will be closed throughout the day, on Tues day next, the day of election. No business, therefore, can be transacted on that day ex cept the business of the public, which will be for all men to vote and return home. We commend the example of the people of Thomas to the citizens of. Savannah. Let business be suspended on Tuesday, and let every citizen devote one day to the service of his country in this crisis of the fate of the Republic.-" MORE RADICAL KNAVERY. We publish in another column a circular issued by that most infamous of the carpet- , F. E. Bbyant, which is being circu- ajnong the “loil” voters not taxed, of and which seta forth the election e.of the parly—the prominent fea- ; the disclosure of a deliberate plot the election by availing themselves manner Of pretexts for throwing out tturns from those counties giving Demo- ] majorities.

People of Georgia, the corrupt minions of despotism seek by sncli disreputable means, and the instrumentality of the ignorant and the vile, to still further humiliate, outrage and oppress us; but while the haUot is left to’ us we have the power to rebuke tbeir audaci ty and defeat their purpose. To accomplish "this let every true man do bis duty on Tues day next: ' . .ivA 5 ■ DON’T FAIL TO VOTE. -Every citizen of Georgia should be pre-. pared to vote lor Seymour and Blair next Tuesday. It is all important that Georgia should not only be saved for the Demo- cratic party, but that it .should be carried by ti0UE£md “-airily for Seymour aeat great facilities of information of the charac teristics of the people of all sections as any .other man.in Massachusetts, says that the people of that' State and Booth Carolina “ have no more idea of each other than the man in the moon baa of either.” In a for mer speech. Mr. Adams stated that he had learned more of the real character of Sou 4 * 1 Carolina in a personal visit of a few days than he could have done in Massachusetts in a lifetime. There are " perhaps no two nations of Europe which today do not know more each other’s true character, and winch North and South do not understand better, than North and South do each other.—Baltimore Sun. ' ■ * To any one who has been a habitual reader of Northern newspapers, magazines and ser mons, especially those of New England, for the last thirty years, the truth which Mr. luma declares is no marvel Since the com mencement of the abolition crusade, New England has had her traveling, writing, lec turing, preaching, drumming and singing emissaries throughout the South, who lived by fabricating and disseminating the vilest mis representations of the Southern people. At home, in Massachusetts, the press—the ros trum, the pulpit, the magazine literature, the schoolbooks, the prayerbooks, and even the almanacs—have been made the vehicles of falsehood and defamation, until the people of that section have become so thoroughly educated in false opinions of Southern insti tutions, Southern morality, Southern manners and civilization, that the troth is even more incredible to them than the most absurd and extravagant falsehood. Harriet Belcher Stowe did more in a single volume to produce the estrangement between the North and South, which Mr. Adams so frankly admits, than he, with all his powers of truth and eloquence, can nndo, it is to be feared, in years to come. “Truth crashed to the earth,” we are told, “will rise again;” but so far as our observa tion goes, Massachusetts soil is not the most favorable , upon which to make the experi ment.' ' BULLOCK’S TELEGRAPHIC PKOCLA- \ MATIDN. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist says the Bullock is still ab sent, and adds: “I learn that his proclamation suspending that portion of his and Brown’s and Meade’s Constitution relative to the poll tax, was telegraphed from the North. The collection of poll tax for 1867, however, has not been suspended, and I presume voters will have an opportunity to contribute to the Treasury of this very-much-in-need-of—funds Common wealth.” If Bullock intended only to suspend the payment of the “onerous taxes levied nnder the authority of the Constitution of 1865,” as set forthinthe “whereas” of his proclamation, in his native stupidity he has failed to accom plish what he intended to do; and has at tempted to do what he did notintend to do, for in the body of his edict as telegraphed from the North, he makes no allnsion to these “oner ous taxes” of 1865, hut orders the suspension of all poll taxes until the next session of the General Assembly. He sets out by com plaining that “preparations are being made to collect onerous taxes levied nnder author ity of the Constitution of 1865, and failing to collect, to apply the provisions of the pres ent Constitution, thereby depriving many citizens from the privilege of voting;” There fore to relieve said citizens from the onerous tax aforesaid, and in order that they .may not be deprived of the privilege of voting, lie orders the suspension of all poll taxes, of coarse including the poll-tax of'the present year: - Now, whether he designed simply to relieve the people from the “onerous taxes” of 1865, or to release them from the require ments of the Constitution, is a question for the lawyers to decide. If he meant the for mer he has not so expressed himself, and if he meant the latter he has undertaken what no bollock in Georgia has power to do. If his telegraphic proclamation is valid as mean ing anything, it suspends the payment of all poll taxes, but in doing, so, it does not do away with the express requirements of the Constitution in regard to the qualification of voters. Monetary.—A New York letter of the 22d inst. says: ,“ A singular occurrence in the financial world lends force to the not unfre quent statement that there is something rot ten in the monetary Denmark. A Wall street firm drew a check for $218,000 in gold on ope of the most substantial banks, as was-thought in this city. On presentation, the bank offi cers said it was good, and they would certify it. On this the truth came ont. The bank did not have that much gold, nor coold it command it. The matter was finally settled by $168,000 in specie then, end the balance, $50,900, thereafter. There has been much talk over the circumstance. Another tiling to be noted is that nobody knows how much, the national debt is. Only the recorded debt is given in the monthly statements, and some say there are at least $4,000,000,000 of out standing liabilities, war claims, etc. Cut this down one-half and it is awfnl; cut it down even seventy-five per cent, and yet it is dreakfhl to think of such an accession to the present load.” .. . ► ». < Important Insurance Decision.—The New YorkConrt of Appeals,' the highest judicial tribunal in the State,-has decided tiiat suicide does not vitiate a life insurance policy. The American Mutual Life Insurance Company refused to pay the widow of Marcus W. Gib son the sum for which his life had been in sored because he committed suicide, but the court reaffirmed the decision of the lower courts that the policy must be paid. The company. attempted to prove that -Gibson wason athiest or infidel, and therefore that the suicide was intentional, the deceased not lhaving the fear of God before him; bat the court ruled out tins as irrelevant and held that in an* action to recover for an insur ance upon the life of the deceased, it is in competent to inquire into his religions faith With a view of influencing the - question whether, in such case, .death was occasioned by an intent Of self-destruction or of accident The Radical party having crept back into its old Know Nothing shell, refuses now to let the naturalized foreigner vote. They denied him this right in all of the late elections. Remember, foreigners, on the 3d i day of November, that the same Radical party which has 'extended ‘the right of suffrage to every negro in the South deny it to you. _ At Lucerne, Queen Victoria was much dis gusted on Sundays by the -ten-pin playing going on at all the taverns, in the neighbor hood of-her hotel. She sent a Chamberlain to the landlords ot the taverns in question, and offered them two thousand francs if they would not allow their gnests to play at ten pins during her stay at Lucerne. But the Swiss landlords refused to do so, saying they were free republicans, and whosoever dis liked their customs had betterstay away from their country. Important DecWoii* The following decision of the Commie- sioner of Internal Revenue, given Saturday in response to an inquiry from the Collector of this District, will be found of interest to all concerned in the liquor trade. Treasury Department, j .jsssSt r Sir- Your letter of the 21st instant, in relation to the accounts and signs of whole- Hiilp liauor dealers, lias been received. ^toreply.Ihaveto aaythat the books pre scribed in section 45, act July 20, 1856, must be kept by all liqnor dealers who come withm the definition of wholesale liquor dealers. They will not, however, be required to enter in detail any sale of spirits of less quantity than is required by section 57 of said act to be stamped; that is to say, “packages of more than five gallons.” Sales .. of smaller quantities and amounts may be elected each day in the aggregate. , . To your question, referring to wholesale liquor dealers’ signs, required by section 18 of said act, I can only say that the require ment seems to be plain and 'positive, and there appears to he no way of escape for any liquor dealer who has placed himself withm the category of wholesale liqnor dealers ex cept by paying the penalty.
